You might be wondering…

Most people are surprised to learn that freediving (breath hold diving) is mostly a mental / emotional practice. Holding your breath and trusting your body’s natural biological ability allows you to build a mental and emotional muscle that translates to other areas of life … and anyone can do it!
Freediving incorporates your Mammalian Dive Reflex (MDR), a biological response to water that is present in everyone, ready to be used. It is activated quickly and allows you to be unexpectedly efficient at holding your breath underwater … but you have to trust it
to access its power.Freediving is an incredible experience for many reasons, one being the fascinating and unique combination of biology, physics, and psychology, but it’s especially interesting because the activation of the MDR allows you access a very natural and unique meditative state underwater - a state of oneness, calm, and connection with yourself and the ocean.
Freediving is a powerful tool for strong mindset shifts. With just one training session in freediving, you are able to push against false assumptions and exceed perceived limitations. You forge new thought patterns regarding your potential, your body’s ability, and your beliefs about the ocean. You gain lasting skills to regulate anxiety and stress in all areas of life, and become more strongly attached to your purpose. And, it’s a great way to naturally experience the beauty of the underwater world.
Dr. Bira believes that to effectively make lasting change, you’ve got to shake things up.
And you will. With Ocean Oriented™ Experiences and Expeditions, get ready to step into new territory to grow with other high-performing professionals who share your mission, all while gaining invaluable self-management skills and tools to experience the ocean that will stick with you forever.
